I love how Clinton spun that.
Wallace: Why did you not connect the dots on Bin Laden.
Clinton: the 911 Commission states that I was the only one to blah balh blah...
Wallace: Well the 911 commission sez right here you dropped the ball on getting Bin Laden.
Clinton: forget the 911 commission the only thing that matters is Richard Clark's book and it sez blah blah blah...

("`Eddies,' said Ford, `in the space-time continuum.' `Ah,' nodded Arthur, `is he? Is he?'")
He lies everytime he opens his mouth and says something. For someone who has a photographic memory he was in a bad way today. He was contradicting his lies with more lies.
The one that stuck out the most for me was where he said no-one barely knew who Osama bin Laden was, including his administration, until shortly before 9/11.
I had just got through reading an article put out in January 17th 2002 stating:

"As the sun rose along the eastern seaboard of the United States on September 11, the Central Intelligence Agency was in a state of what might be called permanent medium alert to detect and prevent terrorist attacks on US citizens and property. For fifteen years the agency had entrusted this task to a Counter-Terrorism Center (CTC) at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where as many as two hundred intelligence officers gathered and analyzed information from a wide range of technical and a somewhat narrower range of human sources. For five years there had been a separate task force within the CTC dedicated specifically to the danger posed by Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born Islamic extremist believed to have been responsible for successful attacks on US troops in Saudi Arabia, US embassies in East Africa, and the USS Cole, almost sunk by a suicide bomber in Aden harbor only a year ago."

The above means the separate task force within the CTC had been in operation since at least 1996.

I imagine Rush will be having high ratings for today's show. Can't wait...
The Dems sure have a knack for stepping into it.
